Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup lime juice

¼ cup lemon juice

¼ cup orange juice

1 small bunch cilantro, chopped, or to taste

2 tablespoons chili powder

4 cloves garlic, crushed

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano

1 ½ teaspoons crushed coriander seeds

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)

1 teaspoon finely chopped chipotle pepper

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon white sugar

2 pounds flank steak

2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

Directions

Combine onion, soy sauce, lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, cilantro, chili powder, garlic, cumin, oregano, coriander, hot sauce, chipotle pepper, black pepper, and sugar in a 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag. Add steak and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator, turning and massaging meat frequently, for up to 24 hours.

Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add steak and marinade. Cook steak until medium-rare to medium, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 to 140 degrees F (54 to 60 degrees C).

Cook’s Note

Substitute flank steak for skirt steak if you like.

If using light soy sauce, measure out 1/2 cup.
